A snorkel is also recommended to help prevent the swimmer\u2019s hips from dropping when they would normally lift their head for a breathe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Instead of placing the buoy between the legs, the swimmer will instead hold it out in front of themselves as they would a kickboard. Place the buoy at it\u2019s lowest height so it is creating the least resistance possible. Wearing a snorkel, the swimmer will kick with the buoy extended trying to create a straight line from the top of their head down through toes.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Push Further:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To challenge your swimmers on their body position, ask them to adjust the pull buoy to a higher height (think how you would use a kickboard during a \u201ctombstone\u201d kick set). This will create more resistance and in turn make it more difficult to keep an ideal body position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Why:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially it may seem this is not much of a drill at all; why substitute a pull buoy for a kickboard? The answer is body position. When using a kickboard, it is easy to use your upper body to balance as you move through the water. This usually results in low hips and a poor body line, particularly as swimmers get more tired. In extreme cases poor body position while kicking can create tightness in the neck, shoulders, and back. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a simple departure from kicking on a board, this drill does a great job of forcing swimmers to evaluate their hip position. They cannot balance forward on the buoy as they can a board; the buoy is too light and doesn\u2019t provide the same amount of support as a kickboard. Additionally, the outstretched arms and low head position keeps the entire body in a straight line. As a coach, this drill is helpful to identify which swimmers may be pressing down with their arms (and by extension, the buoy, which will become submerged) instead of using their core and legs to maintain a good body line. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While kicking on a board can certainly have a place in any program, this drill acts as a nice counterbalance to help build good body position habits during practice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The When:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a great drill to add early in your season to help set good habits. Add this drill this during warm-up or secondary sets to check in with hip\/body position, making sure to check which swimmers may struggle with their body position when you take away the kickboard. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Push Further:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can create innovative sets that involve switching between pulling and kicking with a buoy. When doing this, it is helpful to explain that your athletes should be looking at the differences in their body position when they\u2019re pulling versus when they\u2019re kicking. Challenge them to keep the high hip position they have pulling when they transition to the kicking drill. This is a great way to add in thoughtful aerobic capacity work. See the sample set below for inspiration:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***use snorkel and buoy for everything<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">300 pull negative split<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 x 75&#8217;s as \u00a025 buoy kick\/25 drill\/25 streamline kick fast<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">250 pull negative split<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 x 100&#8217;s as 50 buoy kick\/25 drill\/25 streamline kick fast<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">200 pull negative split on 3:00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 x 125&#8217;s as 75 buoy kick\/25 drill\/25 streamline kick fast<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>In Conclusion:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a simple drill that can utilized in several different areas of your daily practice to help check-in and promote good body position in your athletes.
